@@MakingSenseOfThisMess I don't think Kirby cares a great deal about the Florida game. They should win that easily. You won't see him rushing players back and he probably doesn't care too much if they sit out that Florida game. He wants everybody ready and available for Ole Miss and Tennessee
Reece! It was SPECIFICALLY you who said “Poor Georgia, they may not get a first down!” as Gameday was signing off only after their whole panel picked against us saying “there’s a new sheriff in town.” What the hell is that if not doubt? Own that you and your network were WRONG.
F*** ESPN... They always pick against UGA, Herbstreit picked Michigan in the Orange Bowl, picked Tennessee vs UGA, picked Ohio State vs UGA.....Game Day across the board picked Texas...So was Kirby wrong??? DAMN ESPN SPENT 2 WEEKS TELLING US THAT TCU HAD A CHANCE VS UGA...SO YES..FUCK YES...ESPN IS BIAS AGAINST UGA....GO KIRBY AND GO DAWGS!!!!!
I have no idea where the Elite roster of the Bulldogs was all season, but they showed up with a vengeance against the Longhorns. Yes, the Bulldogs are likely still vulnerable, but if they run ragged over the Conference here on in on the way to Atlanta, we'll probably see Nattie # 3 in 4 years next Jan.
@@Kingbuzz92that definitely plays a role but I think the biggest part of is that they lost. Last 2 years with great players and nattys, they set such a high standard for themselves that 1 random loss and everyone thinks it’s a wrap on their season. They have a way tougher schedule than they’ve had the past few years and bama played the best football in those first 2 quarters than they have in 2 years, just the way the cookie crumbles when we play bama. Them having that loss and hearing people talk shit and doubt them lit a fuse that’s gonna keep burning. If the offense plays like they did against Mississippi state and we can get the run game going as well, and then the defense plays like they did against Texas, no team in the nation is going beat them plain and simple. Just hope to see them put it together consistently and get some key players back from injury and this UGA team will be a force to be reckoned with
They were depleted by injuries both times they played Bama. Bama's just been one of the luckiest teams out there. Refs used to cheat for Bama like they did for Texas, when Saban was coach.
How is it nonsense when literally everyone was picking Texas? I’m confused. He wasn’t saying y’all stopped believing Georgia was good at all but that they weren’t getting through Texas and Texas was going to beat them so badly.
Texas fan here...the only reason why I doubted Georgia and thought we where going to win is because they barely beat Kentucky 13-12...because Mississippi St. scored 31 againts them...its because Bama had them 28-0 at one point before they came back...and watching them live at that game...Georgia turned on another switch and went to another level that we werent ready for that night...I cant wait to play them again possibly in Sec championship maybe...or next year at Athens! HOOKEM HORNS 💪
I find it funny and justified that here we are talking about Texas being in these big time SEC showdowns. That was one loss for Texas, and I hope all of the SEC fans get used to hearing Texas in these heavyweight bouts for years to come.
To whom much is EARNED you mean. Kirby started out working for free, (at Georgia....i'm sure they fed him a little) then for $7500 a year if i'm remembering correctly at Valdosta state. 1 year passes he was then the D-coordinator. Then he went back to school for the master's degree and was again working for nothing (free meals again) at Florida State under Bowden. Then to LSU, the Miami Dolphins (both for a year) then to Bama as an assitant. Took 1 year to be promoted back to D-coordinator. That January won the Broyles award for top assistant in college football. Next year Bama won their first natty since january of 1993. We know the story from there -one thing i do agree with is the health topic---his approach has got to change a bit cause speaking for myself i need that man for inspiration.
Reese is chock full of kaka. "Decorum" isn't warranted when the refs change the rules in the middle of the game; PI has long been understood to be "non-reviewable," and the guy that threw the flag was 10' from the infraction. Bad calls are made, routinely, in just about every game, and that goes with the territory: You don't change the rules on the fly, and decide that the home team gets a "do over" (and possession of the ball) because their fans begin pelting the field with trash. Everybody is accountable in sports, from the coaches to the players to the owners to the announcers: Everybody's job is critiqued, constantly, in endless postmortems when the game is over. Coaches are fired: So are sportscasters. Players are traded, or optioned into a memory hole and selling used cars. Owners are forced to sell. Everybody's accountable except for the officials who decide these games, and that's a crock. The fact that they're not "professionals," is the league's fault: The NFL (and the NCAA, for that matter) should pay professionals to do a professional job. Let them have union reps, etc., just like the people wearing pads and cleats. And let them answer to the media, post-game, just like everybody else. The idea that they're "at risk of bodily harm" isn't any more true than celebrity players and coaches, who are also naturally going to be targets for kooks. That's the reality of the society we're currently living in. Hire pros, and make the officials accountable, or continue to have the current dumpster fire, but don't blame it on stupid issues like "safety," and/or the requirement for anonymity. That's just stupid.
In hindsight, Kirby's comments about everyone doubting them were brilliant because all ESPN has done since then is talk endlessly about it. Elite media provocation.
I have faith in Kirby. I just felt like the players were just there going thru the motions. It's how they were playing. Not sure what Kirby said or did to or for them, but they finally looked like they wanted to be there again.
The players are human beings. The hardest thing for a head coach of this caliber to do is to battle complacency within your players. I believe Kirby used all the bulletin board material from the media and the fact they were playing the "#1" team, and the increasing of the spread as underdogs to not only battle complacency but to get them focused on the intricate details and mental aspect of the game which has been inconsistent.
All of you absolutely talked Texas up and picked Texas to win! At least 95% of ESPN and others who never watch college football picked against Georgia! Why is ESPN so thin-skinned?
Kirby knows how to get the best out of his team. No team is better on their best day if it comes down to one game but you have to be good week in and week out and Kirby knows this. Nothing to do with naysayers
As josh pate has suggested, make the officials full time employees, standardize the officiating across the NCAA, and make the officials answer publicly for their calls, like the players and coaches have to. As for Kirby, you guys are making much ado about nothing.
Marty, do you really think Georgia has.an offense that can win a title? Seriously, their receivers have trouble catching passes and Beck has played ok nothing special on that side of the ball. The defense was superb but the roles were reversed a week earlier against Mississippi State when the offense rolled up 609 total yards primarily through the air. Add in the Jekyll and Hyde performance in the Alabama game and I am not sure which type of Georgia team will play that week. I think Texas and Ohio State are the two best teams this season.
It’s just a game and it’s not even what you think. People that obsess over sports and live their lives vicariously through these events need to get a life and make a positive change in their lives and for others in this unhealthy world.
You guys are so full of bullsh!t I can smell it here where I sit typing. You know the mass majority were doubting us before the game. Everyone at game day, with great zeal, chose Texas to throttle us. He revealed you all the be the hauty idiots you are. Instead of admitting you called it wrong, you do this? This is why I watch ESPN only when UGA is playing on it, and then I hold my nose while wathing. And don't say you worry about his health - your saying that is disingenuous, at best. You are far more concerned he made you talking heads look bad. And remind me - when has kirby call out a referee by name? I await an answer I know is never coming.
